I missed that Beyond Friday, saw all the tweets the next morning but thought "there's no way this film could actually be all that". I was wrong, very wrong. Absolutely wonderfully bonkers and brilliant.

One of my favourites of the last couple of years. I really disliked X when I saw it, but loved this which prompted a rewatch of X. I'm now up to "yeah, that will do for me" on X. Can't wait to see MaXXXine this week.

This is actually a very realistic aspect of it. Fighters in a mixed tournament, having to deal with a variety of styles they haven't trained for or even seen.

Oh no. Bolo Yeung discovered Van Damme's one and only weakness. Cocaine! #bootlegfriday

And now the sad 'do it for your dead trainer/friend' montage, also like Rocky (III and IV)

The big guy really had Frank on the ropes. Of all the top action guys, JC was the one that really didn't mind taking a real beating from his opponents. He absolutely got what it means to be proper babyface.

Ghost Dog to Idi Amin? I'd say he does. In his own way though.

Mandatory sequence in any HK action film. Never my favourite though.

Even if there is an amount of ethnic stereotyping.

I know he was a bit of a dick to your one on the bus but I love Jackson. Two seconds after meeting he was Frank's BFF and ready to die for him.
Dudes rock.

Biggest surprise of the film is they missed a clear chance for a JCVD shower/arse scene earlier on.

Bolo is Korean in this. The bad guys in Best of the Best are the Korean national team. Why were 80s Americans so fearful of Koreans?

Hold on, Dux has been wearing that leotard since he left the military camp. Bare pits under a leather jacket for days while travelling to the Far East? He must be pretty fragrant.

Not sure they need to focus on groin stretching in training when one of the few things he could already do was the splits.
